Research and responses

This entry has been given only one number but seems to be describing two objects as there are two drawings, I have therefore subdivided the entry number [AP 12/8/99] A Dr L Dale donated 20 objects in the founding collection all from Cape Province South Africa [AP 25/8/99]

Cape Province is the name of a defunct province of South Africa. It encompasses the old Cape Colony and was subdivided in to the provinces of Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape Provinces following the abolition of apartheid in 1994. When this site has been accurately located, the name of the province should be altered accordingly [CMP 23/08/2010]
